Preparing for what’s ahead
Making plans won’t make death come any earlier, but it can offer peace of mind and make it easier for your loved ones to follow your wishes. In these pages, you’ll find advice on writing a Will, organising a funeral and more.
Planning for your death
From writing a Will to deciding what happens to your pets and choosing your funeral music, there’s lots to think about.
Planning your funeral
You may want to choose the funeral home, music and flowers, and decide whether you want to be buried or cremated.
Your digital legacy
You might bank online, share your thoughts on social media and save digital photos. It’s good to plan for what will happen to this information.
Leave a gift in your Will
Without a Will, you won’t have a say in what happens to your estate when you’re gone. If your Will is a few years old, you may need an updated one.
Creating a ‘When I’m gone’ box
A ‘When I’m gone’ box keeps together the information that your family will need when you’ve died, such as your National Insurance number.
